Oil & Gas Production Takes Toll in U.S. Lives, Health Costs
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Pollutants produced by the U.S. oil and gas industry cause thousands of deaths and cost the country tens of billions in health care expenses, a new study reports.Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), fine particulate matter and ozone all contribute to air pollution, and all are emitted as part of oil and gas production, the researchers said.The new study estimates that the oil and gas industry contributed to 7,500 excess deaths, 410,000 asthma attacks and 2,200 new cases of childhood asthma across the United States in 2016.All told, oil and gas production cost the United States $77 billion annually in health care damages, when factoring in related heart and lung hospitalizations, adverse pregnancy outcomes and other illnesses.That total cost is three times the...
Everyday Internet Use by Older Adults Might Help Keep...
8 May 2023
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- In a world increasingly consumed by social media, much has been made of the amount of time younger generations spend online every day — and the harms that habit can bring.But now a new study of older adults suggests that regular internet use may actually be a boon for older Americans, staving off the long-term risk for dementia.“We studied the association between internet usage and the risk of dementia in the long term among dementia-free adults aged 50 and older,†explained study author Gawon Cho. “We found that regular users experienced approximately half the risk of dementia than non-regular users,†said Cho, a doctoral student in the department of social and behavioral sciences at New York University's School of Global Public...
AHA News: Report Details How to Fine-Tune Asian Diets...
8 May 2023
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Just as the term "Asian American" encompasses a vast number of people and cultures, the idea of an "Asian diet" oversimplifies differences in what they eat, a new report on heart health says.Understanding those differences is important for the United States' fastest-growing ethnic group and the professionals who tend to their health, says the American Heart Association scientific statement, published Monday in the journal Circulation.Dr. Tak Kwan, who led the team of experts who wrote the report, said its main goal was to highlight the distinct risks of heart disease and diabetes in different Asian American subgroups. Failing to separate Asian American subgroups may result in overestimating or underestimating their risk of Type 2...
Quitting Smoking Earlier Is Always Better for Lung...
8 May 2023
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Quitting smoking will have benefits, even for those who are later diagnosed with lung cancer, new research indicates. While often studies compare outcomes for smokers vs. never smokers, investigators found that quitting smoking earlier also was beneficial.Among people diagnosed with the most common type of lung cancer, called non-small cell lung cancer, current smokers had 68% higher numbers of deaths compared to never smokers, while former smokers had only 26% higher numbers of deaths.And the longer a patient had quit smoking before being diagnosed with lung cancer, the better the odds of survival.“Our participants’ smoking histories varied, with some having stopped smoking a few years before their diagnosis and others having stopped several...
Obesity Can Raise Odds for Post-Surgical Complications
8 May 2023
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Here's one more reason to watch your weight: Obesity can increase your odds for serious complications after surgery.Compared with patients of normal weight, those who are obese are at greater risk for developing blood clots, infections and kidney failure after surgery, a new study reports. Patients with obesity were also more likely to be hospitalized for these complications."This is indicative of the obesity epidemic in this country," said senior researcher Dr. Robert Meguid, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Colorado in Aurora.The increase in complications owes to a variety of factors. These include body inflammation, which is more common with obesity. It can also be more difficult for patients who are overweight or...
One Financial Tip to a Longer, Happier Marriage
8 May 2023
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- The key to a happier and longer marriage may be pooling your money. Researchers found that couples with joint bank accounts had better relationships, fought less about money and felt better about how their household finances were handled. “When we surveyed people of varying relationship lengths, those who had merged accounts reported higher levels of communality within their marriage compared to people with separate accounts, or even those who partially merged their finances,†said Jenny Olson, an assistant professor of marketing at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business. “They frequently told us they felt more like they were ‘in this together.’"The authors recruited 230 newlyweds or engaged couples, following them for two years...

8 May 2023
MONDAY, May 8, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, has no cure. But there are many treatments, specific to type, and it is possible to keep the symptoms under control. A gastroenterologist offers some tips for those newly diagnosed with the condition.“It’s important to get a proper diagnosis and see an experienced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) provider, preferably at a center that specializes in caring for these conditions,†said Dr. Matthew Coates, who treats diseases of the digestive system at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are two types of IBD, diseases involving chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.Crohn's is caused by an overactive immune system. Cases...
